Joel Billy - Allentown Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Well were living here in allentown

And theyre closing all the factories down

Out in bethlehem theyre killing time

Filling out forms

Standing in line

Well our fathers fought the second world war

Spent their weekends on the jersey shore

Met our mothers in the uso

Asked them to dance

Danced with them slow

And were living here in allentown

But the restlessness was handed down

And its getting very hard to stay

Well were waiting here in allentown

For the pennsylvania we never found

For the promises our teachers gave

If we worked hard

If we behaved

So the graduations hang on the wall

But they never really helped us at all

No they never taught us what was real

Iron and coke

And chromium steel

And were waiting here in allentown

But theyve taken all the coal from the ground

And the union people crawled away

Every child had a pretty good shot

To get at least as far as their old man got

But something happened on the way to that place

They threw an american flag in our face

Well Im living here in allentown

And its hard to keep a good man down

But I wont be getting up today

And its getting very hard to stay

And were living here in allentown
